  • Oaten hay demand from China: 1.5 – 2 million MT per annum (accelerating in the past 5 years and cannot be met in Australia alone)

  • Australia’s brand strength has increased share of production for fodder: Product traceability, quality and lack of contamination underpin the favourable reputation of Australian agricultural exports leading to major export expansion.

  • Oaten hay is a desirable export product: Australian producers primarily export oaten hay, which improves milk production. Oaten hay has high demand worldwide as a reliable, high quality fodder that meets stringent animal production requirements.

  • Wingara advantage: Under the Free Trade Agreement with China, only oaten hay from Australia is allowed to be imported

Protein Market Update

  • Domestic consumption of red meats, particularly lamb and mutton, has been on a downward trend in recent years.

  • The share of red meat production destined for export has risen as a result

  • Given a greater reliance on exports, the meat industry has seen disruption from COVID-19 and logistical issues such as port strike action in 2020

  • Total meat exports to key Asian markets continue to rise year-on-year

Rainfall Report

  • Higher-than-expected rainfall prior to harvest has proved challenging for many growers across VIC and SA.

  • Reports of weather-damaged hay have been received in some key areas.

  • Quality hay is expected to come at a higher premium than anticipated

  • Equally, exported product is likely to trade at a discount, particularly given slow domestic demand
